From the book description:
With the collapse of the economy and financial systems, many companies are reevaluating the projects on which they are willing to invest. Project valuation is key to both cost effectiveness measures and shareholder value.
“Capital Budgeting and Valuation ‒ Financial Analysis for Today’s Investment Projects”, which was published in 2011, offers an essential guide to valuation techniques and financial analysis. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive examination of critical capital budgeting topics. Coverage extends from discussing basic concepts, principles, and techniques to their application to increasingly complex, real-world situations. Throughout, the book emphasizes how financially sound capital budgeting facilitates the process of value creation and discusses why various theories make sense and how firms can use them to solve problems and create wealth.
